Enabling Secure Access to Clinical Infrastructure at Scale
Healthcare Systems Security
Less Complexity
Simplified access management without brittle VPNs, complex firewall rule sets, or network redesign.
Stronger Security
Built-in identity-based protection aligned with Zero Trust and healthcare compliance requirements.
Challenge: Securing Patient Data and Clinical Systems in a Connected Environment
Healthcare networks now span hospitals, outpatient clinics, remote providers, cloud-hosted EHR systems, imaging platforms, medical IoT devices, and third-party vendors. Legacy security models built around trusted internal networks and VPN-based remote access expand the attack surface and increase operational risk.
Ransomware attacks targeting healthcare organizations continue to disrupt patient care and compromise protected health information. Many medical devices and legacy systems cannot run modern security agents or firewalls, leaving them exposed once connected. Flat network designs allow lateral movement between administrative systems, clinical systems, and connected devices. In environments where downtime impacts patient safety, security must protect without interfering with operations.
Solution: Enabling Secure Access at Scale
CSOI delivers Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) for healthcare environments by replacing implicit network trust with explicit, policy-defined identity controls.
Using cryptographic host identities instead of IP-based trust, CSOI ensures every device, system, and user must authenticate before communication occurs. Access is denied by default and granted only by defined policy.
CSOI enables healthcare organizations to:
- Secure EHR systems, imaging platforms, and clinical applications
- Protect medical IoT devices and legacy systems
- Provide encrypted access for physicians, remote staff, and vendors
- Segment administrative, clinical, and research environments
- Instantly revoke access without reconfiguring firewall rules
- Policy based control over what public non-organizational resources protected systems can speak with
With point-and-click simplicity, manage access between systems without managing complex ACLs, routing policies, or VPN configurations. Provision secure encrypted connectivity between anything, anywhere, securely and efficiently.
Ease of Deployment
Healthcare environments cannot tolerate extended downtime or disruptive infrastructure changes. CSOI is designed to deploy over the top of existing networks without requiring rip-and-replace upgrades or major infrastructure redesigns, allowing organizations to strengthen security while maintaining continuous operations and patient care.
Built on a Software-Defined Wide Area Network / Perimeter (SD-WAN) and Identity-Defined Networking (IDN) architecture, CSOI integrates networking and security into a unified platform that is topology, protocol, and hypervisor agnostic. Deployments can be staged across hospitals, clinics, medical offices, data centers, and cloud systems without interrupting patient services or disrupting critical healthcare operations. This flexible architecture allows healthcare organizations to extend secure connectivity across distributed facilities while maintaining consistent security policies and visibility.
Because policies follow cryptographic identity rather than physical network location, healthcare IT teams can securely support telehealth providers, traveling clinicians, remote billing staff, and third-party service vendors without expanding network exposure. Access can be granted or revoked instantly based on identity and role, helping ensure that only authorized users and systems can communicate. This approach reduces operational burden while maintaining strict access controls aligned with HIPAA and broader healthcare compliance frameworks, while also improving visibility and control over sensitive healthcare infrastructure.
Cybersecurity Operations Infrastructure
CSOI is built to manage complex healthcare networks spanning on-premises facilities, hybrid cloud environments, remote clinics, and medical IoT ecosystems. It creates a common secure networking architecture capable of protecting modern and legacy systems across clinical and administrative domains.
With CSOI’s Zero Trust network architecture, organizations can reduce attack surface by up to 90 percent while improving time to mitigation, revocation, and quarantine by up to 25 percent.
